If you loved Apres' Gel-X extensions, we've got some exciting news! Introducing the Gel-X 2.0 Tips. The new era of gel extensions is here. The NEW Gel-X kits will allow artists create up to 50 sets per box! In addition, three new half sizes (4.5, 5.5 and 6.5) have been added, which means that you can better utilize a box of tips with much fewer leftovers. With a range of 14 sizes, Apres is the only brand on the market to offer half sizes, making it even easier to custom fit.
The new Apres Gel-X offers a structural design with a thinner base and thicker free edge. A thinner base means less filling is needed, saving prep time. A thicker free edge gives more structure, making it more durable.
The Gel-X 2.0 tips are available in two different fits: natural and sculpted.
The natural tips have a flatter surface with a less pronounced C curve (meant for clinets with a flatter, wider nail bed).
The sculpted tips, on the other hand, have a higher apex and a deeper C curve, meant for clients with a curved nail bed or those who prefer the look of the sculpted tips.
For those of you unfamiliar with Apres, this brand is the pioneer in soft gel nail extension technology. Apres is united by one common motif -- creating standards, not trends. They're focused on breaking the habit of fast nail fashion and focused on creating compelling change in the nail industry.
The brand has been featured in many publications including Refinery29, Nylon, Allure, Elle, Marie Claire and more. They offer a wide range of professional products, from nail files, LED lamps to gel extensions and more.
Now, we will give fair warning, if you are brand new to extensions and have never applied them before, practice and patience are important. Know that it's going to take some trial and error, but once you have it down, it'll be worth it and you will have a gorgeous, fresh-out-of-the-salon manicure.
The application process itself is very straightforward:
- Prep
- Choose your sizes
- Prep tips
- Apply
- Cure
However, mastering certain steps like how much extend gel you need to use and finding the proper technique to applying the extension to your nail, will take some time. But don't let this deter you from trying nail extensions! In the end, you'll have a gorgeous, salon-quality manicure without ever leaving your home!
